  1. Needs a better air splitter at the front, I saw something about this on hybridz. I think its a kit made in the UK and comes with the 2 front guards, bonnet and air splitter. Would require a bit of modding to accomodate though.
  2. Correct me if im wrong, but arn't fresh rebuild motors supposed to run a little warmer. This is due to the fact that things are wearing in eg. rings against cylinder walls and so on. Although could be possibly be tuning, just to confuse you and throw it in the mix

    Wanted: 260Z 2+2 Hatch

    Thanks for the reply Rb260Z AND 24OZ I appreciate it. I wonder how much freight would cost on an object that size and weight? What would you guys consider a fair price for a hatch? -Adam
  6. Hi all, In the progress of restoring the Z and got to the hatch which I thought wasnt to bad. Turns out that the old hatch would be better used as a soup strainer. Its not a mater of cutting out small sections more like building half of a new one. I am after a rust free hatch or very damn close. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance. -Adam
  7. Hi, Glad to see a 2+2 restoration in the projects thread. I dont feel so bad restoring a 2+2 now. Adam
  8. Depends on where u live. There was a 280ZX with a L28 Turbo on ebay yesterday for $4,000. I would have bought it but it was in QLD.
  9. Welcome to the club
  10. Yeah, hes been around for a while, was a pannel beater when my old man was my age. Mainly does all rods and muscle cars, pretty well known for his work. Well glad to hear that he wasnt playin a joke on me. 2-3 weeks . For the tub I was going to cheat and dig a hole and line with black plastic (stuff they use for gardening). I can get molasses from a produce place, about $30 for 25kg. So it sounds reasonably feasable, to the garden shed batman. After Im done might plant a small veg patch
  11. Hiya, Spoke to a rod restoration person about fixing my hatch, due to the location of its cancer. Weirdly he said to dip it in molasses and then wash it out with fish oil before giving it to him. The molasses is supposed to help with neuturalising the rust, does anyone know anything about this idea/process? Thanks in Advance Add
  12. Hi, What condition is the centre console in? Thanks in advance Adam
  13. Just got an email back from 18racing.com about setting up a group purchase. While they are not willing to drop the price for a set of rims, however they are willing to drop the cost on shipping as the discount. That is if we ship them as one lot. Their reasoning behind this is that they are selling them a cheap as they can. But for my 17x7.5's with a +4 Offset, they quoted me AU$973.35 ($895 US) that is shipped to my door.

    I have a set of tien coilovers under the 280ZX. They seem to being pretty awsome so far.
  15. Hey, Well looks like i need newer tires sooner than I thought. 2 weeks sounds pretty damn good for delivery time. And now for the noob question. I think that 17x7.5's with +4 offset should be fine under stock suspension, would anyone want to confirm that before I lay out a heap of $$$ on something that turns out bad. Add PS: Just dont want to blow good money on bad
  16. Hi, The one on hybridz looks abit like it was inspired by an FD3S Rx7 wide bodykit in my opinion :-\. Maybe you should have a look at the rx7 gt cars and see if that helps. However thats just an observation. I think i may need glasses Add
  17. Hey Mick74, how long did it take them to reach you after you had made your order/payment? I have emailed rotawheels to see if they can do us a deal, but for under a grand to the door may just go with 18racing.
  18. Just finished reading the group buy from hybridz and they are looking at $750 to $950 a set of four in 17X9 and 17x9.5 now thats what you call dish. My main reason for the 17's is purely down to availability in tyre sizes. From what I read rota are making a 17X8.5 in the RB's which I think would be awsome . But I'm looking at the 17x7.5's mainly due to the fact that they wil fit under a stock setup. Here's a link to the rota website, see what you think. http://www.rotawheel.com/rb1.htm
  19. Well I may be interested depending upon the pricing and what sizes (offset and size) are available. Wonder if we can get 17's
  20. Awsome TMI - To Much Information. Useful when someone discloses a little to much.
  21. I think that they may be SSR's

    Sportmax Rims

    They are often used on Hybrid Z forum. Heres a link to the wheel show post, they are towards the bottom in LeX's post. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=124666&page=8 They are supposed to be pretty light and look good in my opinion. Thanks found it , the ae86 driving club forum correct.
  23. Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows who deals in sportmax rims in australia or more to the point sportmax 002's. I know that they are an American rim and could get a set probably shipped from the states for a large sum. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
  24. How did you go with that centre console. Mine has been completely broken out around the choke. Could you post a pic of the one with the usual cracks. Might be able to plastic weld it together. :-\
  25. Happy New Year Z'ers May the car gods smile upon us, especially the project car one!
